Fml. This is already turning into a pain in the ass.
So my damn axle is stuck in that hub. Hit it with a weak hammer chisel, nothing. Used a little two pound sledge and a chisel in the pit on the axle. Been smacking it pretty good nothing.
Guess I go get a slide hammer and hub puller and go to town. The video I watch on YouTube... The dude just pushed that axle back into the tranny with ease.
Some one lend some mind here? PB blaster soaking on a pizza break right now.

Getting ready to knock this repair out this weekend (bad front driver side pretty sure). Have a friend that has a wide assortment of tools to help get this thing off. I got my torch ready if need be. Car is from N/E. New York exactly. What a pain right?
Question though before I order. Gonna get the Timken + nut off amazon. Should I just order two and do the passenger side too while it's fresh in my mind? I know the driver side is bad (sound goes away when I turn left) but it's gotta be dragging too right? 104 k on the car. Thanks for the help guys. This forum was a life saver when I did the timing belt in June.

Just to update since I didn't see anything about it on here.
Ended up going to Sears and bought a 7 ton two jaw gear puller (50 bucks). Really cranked on that thing. Hit it with my propane torch for a while first. 700 degrees is the target temperature when you're doing tha stuff. Don't know if I was over or under. But it broke free. Cleaning rust up and slapping the new one on tonight..
